Needs
We need all the obvious: secure housing, food, staff, teachers, care-takers, books, kitchen and bedding items along with other supplies… The children are growing food in their garden, and we are looking for ways to grow in sustainability.
We earned a lovely grant to build the compound, but are in clear need of monthly donors, grants and single-donation gifts to provide food and staff pay. Our staff have gone without to be sure the children are fed…Yet they have families to protect and care for, too.
Please share our website with your friends and family…Now would be a great time!
Monthly Donors
We now have a small cadre of monthly donors, from $2-$400 per month. Consistent donations large and small help us budget with less precarity. The bulk of UOCO donations still come from individual donors, and we are profoundly grateful for all support.
We would love help with grant searches, too!
Finally, if you are a teacher, counselor or child care practitioner who wants to volunteer in South Sudan for a month or more, please contact Tito and Mary Grace directly, at warorphanscare.tito@gmail.com and warorphancaremary@gmail.com with your resume or CV and a cover letter explainging why you’d like to go. If you are able to donate airline miles for volunteers to travel, that’s a great way to help!
TRAUMA NOTE: If you have a special concern for traumatized children, we would appreciate special funding to have a therapist visit the children once a week, to talk with them both in group and as individuals.
All donations are appreciated and 100% of donations go to South Sudan.
